Google Reportedly Considered Buying Epic Games | Epic vs Google and Apple (Sinhala) (2021)

Epic Games is now one of the most successful companies in the world, due in large part to the incomparable success of its battle royale game Fortnite. Its success is paired with a focus on independence, as Epic Games strives to separate itself from third-party storefronts like Steam, the Apple App Store, and Google Play. At one point, it seems, this effort pushed one company, Google, to the extreme of considering acquiring "some or all" of Epic, or at least that's what Epic alleges.

Epic Games is currently embroiled in multiple lawsuits across the world against both Apple and Google regarding each company's mobile storefronts. A new document stemming from Epic's case against Google in the USA detailed what Epic describes as Google's effort to maintain its monopoly. It alleges that Google uses its "size, influence, power, and money" to push partners into "anticompetitive agreements," and that when that fails Google considers even more extreme methods of control.

With Epic Games at one point detaching itself from the Google Play Store in order to avoid the storefront's 30% fees, Epic alleges that Google considered an extreme alternative option. It says that Google "contemplated buying some or all of Epic" in order to keep Fortnite within the Google Play Store environment. The accusation being that Google didn't just want the money from Fortnite's sales, but rather considered Fortnite's independence from the Google Play Store a threat that could lead to other companies separating from the storefront.
